Just wanted to inform you guys that there has been a virus out recently that will delete all files with certain extensions (one of them are .doc). It will search for all files with the extensions and then delete it. AFAIK, it does it every third (3rd) of every month. It's soon the 3rd of February. Don't lose your school-work and critical files.
Just a lil' reminder~! Update your antivirus, scan your computer. DO NOT use multiple antiviruses or you risk making them interfere with each other.

I cleaned 3 trojans off my comp last night with McAfee. I'm confident that I'm safe. >_o;;

I didn't think anyone would be happy if their word, excel etc etc files would get deleted. Not many got backup either.  |

Omega is right.
It is kinda sad if you get banned, since you're no bad person.
